i was asked by my good friend ~RuariRedHead to make her a dragon and this is what i came up with X3 NOT A PHOTOGRAPH its in 3D
i used the (free use) backtrack 5 logo and gave it my own personal touch as im sooo in love with there icon (backtrck 5 is a linux distro for hackers, forensics and pen-testers ... i recommend it)
dragon is supposed to be made of plexiglass and base made of chrome plated hardened steel ... no your not supposed to touch it it will break -3-
first i just did the dragon and the table but it was to plain so i modeled the mechanical pencil, some scrap plexiglass, jigsaw blades, hacksaw, BiOzZ ruler (yes i have one >3> shuddup!) some draft design papers (made on a tablet in photoshop when sketching out the final design than i went over it again to add a few sketchy touches), i added in an HDRi and some bookah with creative 2 point lighting (no rear light)
MADE IN CYCLES RENDER on blender 2.64 ... i bold that because i rarely use cycles but i took a liking to it
first attempt had caustics on and 15,000 passes and took 7 hours ... and still was grainy ... so i turned off caustics and this was around 5,000 passes or so and took 4 hours (my GPU is not CUDA 1.3 compatible in my laptop)
as always 100% modled and textured by me
COMMENTS WELCOME ... PLEASE? ... ILL LOVE YOU!!! QuQ any questions you might have ASK ME! no secrets here :3
EDIT: no i dont think the subject is well lit but its glass give me a break XP
thank you!!! i thought ... what would i do if i was actually making this and i made this X3 ... tho without a bandsaw im sure i would break it to bits if i actually made it X333
I like how it has the sketch of the dragon in the background, makes it look more realistic.
that's a good approach.
XD yeah.
